He's sixty and it happened at 7:45 am before street sweeping at 8. I doubt he was drunk.
When I called him on the 27th about the broken grills he got upset and refused to cover them. I guess he went and called his insurance company and told them he hit me but paid me out. They called me this morning to verify the information and I told them the paintwork done was subpar and he never gave me a penny, everything went directly to the shop. Now they're sending an adjuster out to look at my car and assess remaining damages.
I guess he thought he was absolving himself if he filed and said he paid me out?1989 325is / 2.7, 274 cam, e30 M3 5-lug

the paint on the top seam of the driver fender has begun to peel badly. i itemized out the items broken/damaged/unrepaired in the original accident over the phone and they're going to take into account that i saw no money and that the shop was his choice. i guess no updates until then.1989 325is / 2.7, 274 cam, e30 M3 5-lug

pick at the hood edges especially the front and rear (towards the windshield). in my experience, body shops underestimate painting this panel as they tend to keep it closed during the painting process.
if they also painted your bumper, once you removed the turn signals, I guarantee peeling and flaking will be there too since they didn't bother with the mouldings.

update:
received an itemized estimate for $1756 to re-repair the car (from USAA/other party's ins). it says i'm supposed to 'take this estimate to the repair shop of my choice,' followed by some disclaimers about USAA authorized body shops. is there any method for getting monetary compensation and taking it to my own body shop?
a claims agent from BAR is also coming out early this week to look over my car, get a signed affidavit from the shop, and attempt to get me compensation for the shop's damages after looking over their procedures and processes/lack thereof.1989 325is / 2.7, 274 cam, e30 M3 5-lug

the car i drove in college was a parking lot collision magnet.
i was able to collect a nice check on two occasions and pay my rent + fun money without getting the damage repaired. that's best case scenario in my opinion - except in this case you can get clean used parts, etc. and pocket the extra cash for car fun.
good luck.

Honestly, you seem like a well intentioned, level-headed kid with a positive attitude about people and life. Fuck all the haters on this board who make it a career to dole out wisdom about how they would have handled the situation differently. I doubt they had half the character and integrity you had when they were 22.... if they're even 22 :)
Like you said, live and learn. Shit happens and you're not ALWAYS going to come out of every situation with the winning hand. People who choose to believe this are just insecure or stupid or both. So hats off to you brother for remaining a sane human being throughout this ordeal and persevering until everything gets resolved. No doubt these are fine qualities that will make you successful in life.Mike
